This Is My Week To Post About Fire

You should never let the gods know your life is good, if they find out they will slap you around just because.

In the last week, my Houston renter of 15 years wrote he has bought a house and will be moving out on the 4th of July. I had wondered why I had not received May's rent.

Saturday I received a letter from the IRS, never a good sign if there is a return envelope included. It was not too big a deal other than they wanted payment plus penalties for the 2015 taxes I "owed". Humm....those were sent off April 7 and the check has cleared the bank. Turns out someway the 2015 taxes were credited to 2010 taxes which were paid in full a long time ago, 2010 to be exact.

Then this morning I called the motorcycle shop to see if there was any progress on my 2008 Goldwing's start problem. Their answer was I'll let you talk to the general manager. Also never a good sign. The general manager opened with "Your Wing almost burned the building down. The only thing that saved the building was our good sprinkler system." My question was, "I guess my Wing was destroyed?" Ended up the insurance adjusters haven't been out yet and they will get back to me.

Then of course as posted in an earlier post I had tried to burn my shop/house down with a BLO rag last night.

Things had been going too good. I was getting a few days off from work, I could see being debt free in a couple of months.....Not saying I will retire but.....I sure may become an independent cuss or a two year old, I'm not sure which is the correct model.

About Me

I’m an Ok guy. I’m a political junky, I work wood, cook, paint (not much lately), do photography, write about art,life, motorcycles, and wood. I fly airplanes for a living. For a guy that grew up on a West Texas dirt farm in the 40’s and 50’s, I’m OK. I don’t have much use for normal male activities like hunting and sports although I can scratch and ogle with the best of ‘em. I know which fork to use most of the time, I don’t say fuck unless it’s needed and for the most part I can get along in polite society. I’ve seen more of the world than most people have and I think I can say things about it that may be interesting.
